[Tex/LaTex] Formatting of symbols used as footnote markers

babelfootnotes

I've managed to use symbols instead of numbers as footnote markers, with the help of this. However, the footnote markers thus generated are formatted like numbers, instead of like symbols generated with \thanks{} (see picture below). Is there a way to obtain the same formatting as the \thanks{} command, without actually using it?

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[french]{babel}

\begin{document}
\title{My title\thanks{My thanks 1}\thanks{My thanks 2}}
\maketitle

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
\footnote{Symbol 1}
\footnote{Symbol 2}

\renewcommand*{\thefootnote}{\arabic{footnote}}
\setcounter{footnote}{0}
\footnote{Note 1}
\footnote{Note 2}

\end{document}

You can tell the babel french style not to use this style of footnotes and use the default style:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[french]{babel}

\frenchsetup{FrenchFootnotes=false}%<<<<<<<<<<<<<

\begin{document}
\title{My title\thanks{My thanks 1}\thanks{My thanks 2}}
\maketitle

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
\footnote{Symbol 1}
\footnote{Symbol 2}

\renewcommand*{\thefootnote}{\arabic{footnote}}
\setcounter{footnote}{0}
\footnote{Note 1}
\footnote{Note 2}

\end{document}
